Amongst the two, not even comparison.
WWWSK is way better and it's not even close. Characters are consistent in their portrayal in WWWSK and while cliched, it makes sense as to why those two fall in love. in ABP neither the characters makes sense not is there consistency. First couple of episodes were decent and it just went down hill from there.
Is this similar to "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"?
No. Not even close.
The ML in ABP one is supposed to be a cold CEO but turned out to be a pathetic clown, while in other one, he is pretty much a cold CEO out and out.
And the FL in this one is utterly unlikable and inconsistent. By the end of ABP, I can't really understand why the ML loved the FL. Even the clown of CEO deserved better.
but ABP webtoon is much much better than the drama. the characters are consistent and progression makes sense.
So true. In this drama FL keep drinking and blackout in random places.
Well, it was a hot guy who sexually assaulted her when she was drunk. Since the guy is very hot and rich, it is ok... At least thats what the drama is trying to tell us.
I have no issues with FL. Becos when I put myself in her shoes, I think I would behave worse than her. If a stranger…
If it was this FL doing it, it would still be ok but a lot of Asian dramas have this trope of FL hitting the ML...that then becomes a pattern.
And that is problematic since it means there is a conscious effort to have this particular trope in asian dramas and it is accepted without raising an eye-brow.
The writers could have shown the FL react in any numbers of ways but they physical violence as the way. Just think if asian dramas start showing ML slapping, punching and body slamming FL as funny....would we reach the same understanding way?

You do realize that from ML point the FL is a stranger in his home.
If he were to start thrashing her since she is a stranger in his home, we would be having a whole different conversation right now.
The physical violence continues even after she understands what is happening& so does the threat of violence. Worse, the drama makes it look as if she is entitled to commit that violence with the FL character showing little remorse at what she did.
the FL is getting markedly better in later episodes though.
This is a top tier drama, even better than Fox Volant, which I thought was superb.
the two male leads, Yes, there are two, not one, are superb. This was a riveting master-student dynamic. Wu Ming's character steals the show by smallest of margins from Ling Feng and it's all because of the actor who played the character. He was top notch. The FL adds a nice variable to the story. Initially thought she would be typical Cdrama whiny entitled girl but she was anything but that. Ling Feng needed the FL as much as he needed Wu Ming for him to grow.
The actor playing the ML seems to have hit the jackpot with this one and 'Love in time', which seems to be another top tier drama.
Somehow lost interest in this drama. It was not bad, in fact some episodes were good but somehow I did not find myself rushing to watch new episodes. May be too many Legal dramas running at the same time.
Another Cdrama CEO who can only touch the FL. Have they named this unique disease afflicting only Chinese CEO's yet? It looks pretty contagious from the looks of it.
unfortunately it is working.

Is this a weird nod to 'What's wrong with Secretary Kim'?

the FL in Why Her was a piece of garbage for half of the drama.
but I would rather see what's being portrayed than imagine.
be it friends, brothers or lovers.
In this one they are brothers and nothing more.
Imagine seeing lesbian action whenever the FL has some giggles with other girls....
Since the guy is very hot and rich, it is ok...
At least thats what the drama is trying to tell us.
Almost every episode she is drunk out of her mind.

The misandry is glaring.
these dramas show the physical assault on the ML as cute and funny.
is it what really happens in Asia? Men getting beaten up regularly by their girlfriends and wives?
For some one who is a reporter, she has zero qualities of being one.
The story line and ML is keeping me in the drama.
